The nurse is teaching the parents of a 4-month-old infant about good feeding habits
The nurse emphasizes the importance of holding the baby during feeding and not letting the infant go to sleep with the bottle, as this is most likely to increase the incidence of both dental caries and: 1. Otitis media.
2. Aspiration.
3. Malocclusion problems.
4. Sleeping disorders.
1
Rationale:
1. It has been shown in numerous studies that allowing an infant to fall asleep with a bottle in his mouth causes pooling of the formula in the mouth, which increases the risk of both dental caries and otitis media.
2. There have been limited data to date showing a positive correlation to bottle propping and increased risk of aspiration.
3. There have been limited data to date showing a positive correlation to bottle propping and increased risk of malocclusions.
4. There have been limited data to date showing a positive correlation to bottle propping and increased risk of sleeping disorders.
